Im sure in next few days it will be more yummier than I can assumeI did bottle it up and ready to send for my uncle!! you can see now how the pickle looks

For a moment I guess the oil is more!! But It will act as a good preservative for longer run :) Other wise too if you feel pickle will be finished in no time, then drain of the oil and use it in something else like sabzi or pulao for acharic flavor!!
